A Life Debt Repaid Chapter 324
So this was what it felt like to fall from heaven to hell… And Zoe thought that this stuff only happened in TV dramas. But for some bizarre reason, it happened to her."Zoe…" Jay said. "Leave," she said, finally turning toward him then and finding him looking so worried."The Levines would be upset if you stayed here. My mom…" Zoe paused for a moment then to correct herself, "I mean, Ms. Levine is an individual who makes her feelings very clear. If she hates someone, she couldn't care less about anything and would destroy anything and everyone around them. Stay with me and you'll become an eyesore." "Even if John will inherit the family estate, their favoritism isn't that obvious. You should also know that since Alan Levine spoiled her ever since she was a child, he would never allow her to be given grief."Zoe was already changing the way she addressed the same people as she worked hard to stay strong and accept everything in the present.Jay watched her silently. She was

The atmosphere in the silent ward was suffocating. Jay and Zoe simply stared at each other, with Zoe's gaze cold to the bone.Her loathing and distaste for him was just too obvious.She really loathed him—it was as if he could cause every type of tragedy!If he did not get her a stunt double and did not allow that accident to happen on his film set, she would never have been exposed and she would still be a Levine!Jay must be her jinx! She never had it easy ever since she met him!"Rest well," Jay said calmly then, trying to offer her comfort as if the gash on her forehead did not hurt.Even so, Zoe really did not need his sudden goodwill. No, she could accept anyone's goodwill, but not his.-After Jay left Zoe's ward, he started to teeter backward soon, and John quickly caught him. "Are you alright?"Jay's head was spinning, and it took a long while for him to recover. "I'm fine.""How much blood did you give?" John asked."Not much," Jay replied.John did not press

Seeing that Jay's cut on the forehead had been bandaged then, John said, "I'm going now. There's still plenty to do for Cordy's trial, so I can't divide that much attention here. Either way, I'll respect whatever your decision may be.""Johnny," Jay said somberly, "Thank you."John clapped him on the shoulder. "We're family, no?"Jay felt touched—John never said much, but he knew everything and would even offer comfort.Those who did not know him well would never be able to tell that he offered warmth despite his might.As John left the hospital in his car, he stared out the window and heaved a heavy sigh.He suddenly remembered how Zoe would always follow him around when they were children, calling his name. And that same brat grew to become an adult…His phone suddenly started to ring, and he answered it."Mr. Levine? We've found multiple outbound transfers from the personal account of Helen Zalenski.""Send it to me.""Yes, sir."John's eyes narrowed.In the end, his p

John was not stingy with his praise. "That's very smart."Cordy blushed for some reason, feeling as if John was treating her like a kid just then, and she was not used to talking to him like this.Changing the subject, she said, "You told me over the phone you'd tell me about Zoe. So?" John scowled slightly, but said, "I didn't want to tell you because you can't even protect yourself right now, but I'd never dare hide it from you."Cordy bit her lip, a little speechless from the way he used 'never dare'. He really was petty."Anyway, Zoe had an accident at the film set last night, and she's at the hospital right now…""What?!""Don't worry. She's safe although it was a little serious, just a little liver rupture causing massive bleeding. She has since regained consciousness, and she'll be discharged in a week.""Why didn't you tell me?" Cordy exclaimed a little angrily just then. "I could keep her company at the hospital."She certainly remembered that Zoe had always been a

Cordy was stubborn. "That's my own business.""Yes, but Zoe might not want to see you right now either," John told her. "She just turned from a swan to an ugly duckling—do you think she'd be able to stay composed and face you or anyone else? She might want some quiet time to herself, so let's just give her some space…"Cordy scowled. "John—""The point is, Jay will be taking care of her," John said, cutting her short.Cordy was taken aback and was soon snapping, "Are we really pinning our hopes on Jay now?! He didn't care about her at all when she was still Levine! Do you think he'd take the bullet after what happened to her?! Moreover, your aunt is denying Zoe help. What can Jay do when he's just adopted? Get chased out of the family like Zoe? Would he really go that far for her?!""Like I said before," John said. "Jay was right in rejecting Zoe." Cordy did not respond to that, refusing to listen to any of his explanations although she did not know what he was going to say.Bu

Suddenly it started to drizzle, with tiny droplets quickly pelting Zoe's body. When she was discharged, the doctor told her that she was still physically weak—she must take care of her body and not expose herself to the cold or get involved with any strenuous activities. In fact, the best option was to stay home for a month before resuming work.She ignored all that, feeling right then that her life was pointless, let alone anything else.She trudged along the streets, and for some miraculous reason, no one recognized a top star like her even as she walked along the streets without a disguise. In fact, any eyes that lingered on her would think she was some sort of nutjob. Who else would walk so slowly under the rain, not running for cover and not caring at all that she was getting drenched to the bone?She eventually stopped before a billboard, where workers were taking down her poster.It was raining, but they were working as if they could not afford to wait.She watched as

Zoe did not expect that it would still hurt in every way possible."We let you in not out of sympathy but to make sure you understand your status now. Don't appear here ever again for your own sake, because our family will never accept you," Alan said, watching her dispassionately just then. "We wouldn't have been this cold if you weren't Ivan's illegitimate child."Yes.Her fault was being an illegitimate child—her birth was impermissible in the first place. "But is this my fault? Did I get to choose my own birth?" Zoe asked with neither rage nor grief—only confusion. "Why am I supposed to suffer everything?"There was a flash of emotion in Alan's eyes, and he said, "You're not at fault, but it happened to you anyway. And that is why you must endure it."Zoe's tears trickled out along the corner of her eye—so this world was really that unfair.She never hurt anyone, but she had to suffer this anyway. "Is there a reason for our family to accept you? That would be a slap to ou

Zoe silently and somberly walked down the stairs.So that was how it felt to be scorned by a loved one.She was actually worried that she would break down for a moment.But halfway down the stairs, a figure suddenly appeared at her side.She did not turn to find out who it was, but she could hear Jay's deep voice. "Let me see you out."His voice was quiet, as if afraid he would scare her."No," she said flatly—he was the person she needed the least now."Zoe…" he murmured nonetheless."Jay." Nancy called out to him icily from the top of the stairs, and the hand Jay extended to Zoe stiffened.Seeing that, Zoe laughed coldly.Fortunately, she never held out any expectations for him, just like how he left without returning while she was at the hospital since the day she chased her out.He would never disappoint her—not when she expected nothing from him. "Don't forget the reason you're allowed to stay here," Nancy continued to warn Jay just then.Zoe did not even turn to loo

Soon, another nurse emerged from the delivery room with a small bundle. "Is the mother's family here?""Yes!" John exclaimed loudly."The delivery was successful," the nurse said. "The baby weighs eight pounds—""How is she?" John asked in agitation, not caring about the child."She's fine. The doctor is just helping her clean up and she'll be out soon," the nurse replied.As John breathed a sigh of relief, the nurse reminded him, "Aren't you the father? Here's your child."John took the baby off her arms, staring at her for a moment as the others flocked around him. "Oh, she's so fair!" Zoe could not help exclaiming. "That's the most beautiful baby I've ever seen.""Are you saying that your son's ugly?" Bob teased."To be honest, yeah," Zoe replied without thinking.Jay cleared his throat—even if it was a subjective opinion, it still hurt to have his own baby called ugly."Let me carry her," Zoe volunteered just then, and John did not hesitate to hand her his baby.As Zoe

"What?!" Zoe exclaimed in shock.Beside them, John's face fell despite being usually stoic.Still, even before anyone could react, he scooped Cordy up in his arms and left.Zoe did not hesitate to follow, but Jay reminded her, "We're the hosts, Zoe.""Don't care." Zoe was completely unconcerned. "Ask my mom and your sister to handle the guests. I'm going with Cordy!"Jay hesitated for a moment before deciding to follow since there was no reasoning with Zoe.Sam and Quinn also realized that something was out of place.As they pulled away reluctantly, Bob shouted from below, "If you're done kissing, we're going to the hospital! Cordy's going into labor!"Quinn hurried after them as soon as she hurt, but Sam caught her. "Slow down. We can catch up."In fact, most of the guests were leaving as well—it was as if the banquet for Zoe's son was actually intended for everyone else.The poor boy was certainly unlucky to have such unreliable parents!-As everyone rushed to the hospit

"I'm swelling from my pregnancy," Quinn explained. "It's not your fault."Sam was left staring at her for a while before asking, "So, what should I do?""I'll put it on when I slim down.""Oh." Sam was a little disappointed, since he had always dreamed of having her put on the ring he had custom made.But this was fine—they had all the time they needed, and the most important thing for him is that Quinn was marrying him!He rose to his feet just then, and everyone was cheering as soon as he did. "Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!"Quinn blushed right then, and Sam could see that she was embarrassed.He did not want to make things awkward for her, even if he was quite eager at the moment.Heaven knows how much he missed that night's drunken fumble they had. In fact, during the times he remembered it in dreams, he had to wash his pants when he woke up.Still, just as he took Quinn's hand and started to leave, he felt a softness on his lips—Quinn was kissing him! Sam's heart pounded thunderous

Everyone waited patiently for the final outcome.Quinn's eyes were welling up with tears, threatening to gush if she so much as blinked.She did her best to hold back her tears—to be strong!Sam pursed his lips in turn, his Adam's apple bobbing.A long while passed, and it felt like a century for Quinn when she finally heard him say, "Yes."Quinn's tears started falling in happiness as Sam declared loudly, "I'll marry you, Quinn—it's what I've always wanted to do! I won't let you go even if you regret it eventually! You only get to be with me, and I'll never let any other man claim you! I'll become very overbearing… eventually!""I won't regret it," Quinn said, determined.She certainly would not regret marrying him!Zoe walked up to them with perfect timing just then, and Sam did a double take.He finally remembered that Zoe was the host of this luncheon and was going to leave with Quinn when Zoe whipped out a small red velvet box."You know what's in here, don't you?" Zoe a

However, Sam had already pushed Quinn away before she could tell him. But even if he did not love her or did not want to be with her, she would never stay with Ryan.She had been disappointed in Sam, wondering why he would give up so easily.Was she that unimportant to him?Therefore, if it were not for Zoe and Cordy showing her that video or telling her so much, she would never have known that he loved her for years…Sam's heart ached even as he looked into Quinn's tearful eyes.He reached out a hand, but soon withdrew it—would he not burden her?Even so, it hurt to restrain himself as he watched her, and he was actually getting the feeling that Quinn loved him…But she already had Ryan's child…Well, he was fine with that, as long as the child was Quinn's.But would she not mind?"I will marry you, Sam," Quinn said slowly and clearly then. "Not because you're a good man, not because you prepared so much for me, and not because of how much you prepared for me, but because I

Everyone in the hall was staring at Sam and Quinn, while Quinn took center stage, staring fixedly at Sam.He stood in the middle of the crowd, watching her silently.She in turn felt fear that he would turn and leave, just as she did not know if she had the courage to stand before him again and to declare her feelings for him in front of so many others.Nonetheless, amid the deafening silence, Sam suddenly walked toward the stage.His pace was slow as if his feet were made of lead, but he was also unusually determined.Quinn's heart raced uncontrollably right then!Everyone else was watching them nervously, especially Cordy and Zoe, with the latter being especially concerned that the cowardly Sam would bail.Fortunately, he was a man who showed responsibility. He would not leave Quinn alone and embarrassed.Hence, as everyone looked on, Sam stood before Quinn, his gaze flickering as their eyes met.He gulped ever so slightly, his emotions clearly ruffled even as he did his bes

The guests were encouraging, loudly asking, "Why?!""Because of a woman," Sam's recording replied."Who is it?""Quinn Summer," the Sam on the screen said slowly and clearly, leaving the Sam who was in the hall stunned.What the hell?! That was the proposal video he prepared before! Why did it show up here? Did Zoe make a mistake?!He knew it—leave anything to Zoe, and she would mess it up!He started striding toward the stage, intent on stopping the recording, when John and Bob intercepted him with a look of utter guilt while the recording continued. "Quinn is my wife, and we've been married for years, but I've never really loved her—not because I don't, but because I'm afraid to. I feel too insignificant in comparison to the one she loves, so I'd always hurt her… painfully and childishly. I regret that so much now, Quinn. How could I have abandoned you for so long because of my own jealousy? I'd rather hold you in my sleep every night, but my damned pride denied me that for y

At the banquet hall, Jay and Zoe were thanking their guests with their children in their arms.Then, Zoe announced excitedly, "Please give my best friend, who is also my son's godmother, a warm applause as she comes on stage!"Sam stood at a corner of the hall, watching as Quinn walked up the stage, only realizing just then that her belly was clearly swelling despite her baggy clothes.Time flies—he had not left that long ago, but she and Ryan already had a child.She was not worried about giving him a stroke, was she?He watched as Quinn took the mic and looked around below searching, seemingly searching.After a while, he thought she was looking at him, but by the time he looked up, she had already turned away.Maybe she was looking for Ryan before remembering that Ryan was not there?Nonetheless, Quinn spoke into the mic, saying, "I'm honored to be chosen as the godmother to Zoe's son, and she's been saying he'd be engaged to my child if it's a girl. I already love my godson

As their eyes met, Sam turned frantic and averted his. "Of course.""Really?" Quinn asked."Would I lie to you?" Sam asked a little grumpily."And you didn't bring her back?" Quinn asked."I'm on a schedule, and it'd be taxing for her if I bought her along," Sam said, making things up as he went along. "I'll bring her along when things are less busy.""Is she pretty?" Quinn pressed."What, have I ever picked an ugly one?" Sam snorted smugly. "You know I prefer curvaceous types, and there are plenty of those abroad.""Do you have a photo?"Sam was silent for a while and eventually said, "Yeah.""Can I see it?""What, does she have to pass your assessment?""Just curious about the girl who can tempt you to settle down," Quinn replied. "You'd be humbled." Sam hastily came up with an excuse."I won't," Quinn said, determined."You'll see her when I bring her home." Sam refused nonetheless."I would like to see a photo now.""No, she's not that photogenic. It'd be slander a
